Richie Vitale

"Richard Vitale is one of the great modern jazz trumpet players of our time. I was a student of his, and am still a fan of his music. 'Modern Patterns' practiced all the way through, will give the student great insight into harmony, theory, and also the development of muscle memory. All things the modern player needs to to feel comfortable, in ALL musical genres, not just jazz. And last but not least, you will develop chops, which is something we all desire. Rich has inspired me with his playing over the years, and this book is a great representation of his hard work, and incredible mind. Great work Richie!!!"
